Blanket

Sparkles shimmer everywhere

Covering the ground

Silence rings out loudly

There's barely a single sound

The day seems very slow to start

The coldness grips so tight

The sun climbs weakly in the sky

Finally ending the night

Frost covers all

From plants so low

To trees so tall

Water frozen in many ways

Reflects all

The sun's cool rays

Footfalls noisy as they go

The sounds, the sights

A spectacular show

The splendour of winter's here

Enjoy it

It will soon disappear

Grass and mud turns solid

No matches will be played

While the air remains so cold

Team mates are dismayed

But the views are beautiful

Crisp and clear and blue

There's something special about winter

Gets me through and through

Frost covers all

More beautiful

Than the colours of the fall

Water frozen in many ways

Dazzles all

In a shiny haze

Footfalls noisy as they go

To make this perfect

We just need snow

The splendour of winter's blanket's here

Enjoy it

It will soon disappear
